TOPIC – David: A Man Of Humility (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 29 July 2026)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 140, Psalm 141, Hebrews 5, Hebrews 6
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Samuel 12:7-13 (KJV)
7 And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul;
8 And I gave thee thy master’s house, and thy master’s wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things.
9 Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the Lord, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon.
10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife.
11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun.
12 For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David, The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.
MEMORY VERSE: Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? – 2 Samuel 7:18 (KJV)

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: Receive the spirit of humility that will exalt you, in the Name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
Humility is one trait of a true child of God. Anyone who realises how much he or she has been helped by God will know that there’s really nothing to be proud of in this world. David understood God as his Source and Sustainer; he exhibited the trait of humility.
After David killed Goliath, he continued serving humbly in Saul’s palace, playing music to soothe the king. He did not think service was beneath him. Even when Saul offered him his daughter, he didn’t think himself worthy of such an honour. After he succeeded in paying the required bride price for Michal, he still humbled himself despite being the king’s son in law (1 Samuel 18:23,30).
While in the wilderness, David sent his men to salute Nabal, but he insulted David’s men. David was going to fight. However, Abigail met him on the way and entreated him, and he listened to her (1 Samuel 25:32-35).

After David ascended the throne, his humility still shone when he was challenged by Nathan for his sin. He was already a king at this time; he could have commanded Nathan to be locked up for building up enough effrontery to confront the king, but instead, he humbly repented. He chose not to cover his sin.
When Absalom was banished after killing Amnon, Joab knew that the king’s heart longed for him. He sent a woman to speak to David in parables. David, being a wise man, discerned that Joab had sent her. He honoured their request and returned Absalom (2 Samuel 14:1-23).
On many occasions, David displayed humility. He was humble enough to always seek the face of God before going for any battle because he knew God alone could give him victory.
Beloved, herein lies a great lesson for us today. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. It is therefore not surprising that David enjoyed massive grace from God. Take a cue from David today and learn to live a life of humility.
